[10] Immediately prior to World War I, the headquarters of the 6th Rifle Battalion were based at Prince's Park Barracks.

The Doric Lodge, which was situated by the Sunburst Gates at the main entrance, was destroyed by bombs in 1940.

The foundations of its formerly Grade II listed boathouse, which may have been built by John Robertson[13] and which burnt down in the early 1990s, can still be seen at the south end.

In addition, the original look of the park is still intact and it is also an important example of a green haven in a city setting.

Prince's Park currently hosts a free, weekly, timed 5 km (3.1 mi) running event as part of the parkrun organisation.
